I'm looking to gauge interest from creative people who live/ work or spend time being creative in U.K., Yorkshire and globally) to be a part of a project called 'The Creativists Hour'
Up until now I've focused on mini music reviews and interviewing Musicians - the majority of the talent I've reached out and who've reciprocated are not from the U.K.
I focused on gaining confidence by writing (unusual) music reviews and "hounding'" people to do a Feature for my blog.
I knew this was a huge risk to my blog and readers because I was trying something new. I was willing to lose certain readers or win them over.
My angle on doing these reviews and Features included finding artists who aren't afraid about talking about mental health - their or other peoples or even sharing personal experiences- the good, the bad. -the ugly?
My experience writing features showed more readership engagement with people open to talking about themselves and their mental health issues without feeling it would compromise their aspirations/career.
 The next part of this project is to extend my (unusual) reviews, research/interview people from the entertainment and arts industry
writers
poets
songwriters
artists
performers
singers
musicians
Scriptwriters for radio/film or stage
animation artists  and organisations who support local talent in Halifax and the U.K.  & globally)
The AIMS of this project
 Share authentic and relatable stories and personal narratives to readers to inspire them, to see that being creative is not something that has to be measured by success  /money/experience or fans.
Focus on the  community closer to my current home in Yorkshire  and on the U.K.  creative scene
Keep promoting artists and creative people from across the globe.
 Interview/Chat to individuals about:
How,Why and What led them to have chosen their creative outlets, hobbies or careers.
understanding how using their creative outlets benefited/Improved their life in a holistic sense:Â Mental health, physical health, social lifestyle, values, perspectives, challenges, moments of achievementÂ
How have their creative outlets led to negative experiences and how they overcome them/ intend to.  The Outcome for asking people to share this is: Inspire people & be real.
What creativity means to an individualÂ
How (if at all) has their community helped or hindered their creative passions.
How can they encourage or signpost other local community members to feel inspired/ confident to get involved with their community and creative arts scene to express themselves? I believe even the most "successful & Â talented people have moments of doubt.Â
How I aim to achieve this:
Interview individuals/groups/organisations on social media/emails/Skype/face to face recorded interviews /meetings/gigs etc.. and then use my blog as a medium to merge our agendas.
Why my blog?
I love music and I love writing and I love people with a story to tell.
This gives interested participants/people both a platform and voice to promote their talent and own agenda.
It's my blog and my risk. It might be a success or need tweaking.
I enjoy changing things up. Writing out of my comfort zone.
My agenda is to use this project as a platform to pass on other peoples experiences in the Arts/entertainment industry to the reader by being real and be comfortable talking about mental health -good and bad.
Giving people resources, ideas, self-confidence, inspiration and hope that they can also be creative & challenge the definition of creativity.
Use my blog as a data storing place where I can record my research/findings/photos/transcripts of interviews
Spread the word on what is creative talent/opportunities there are in, West Yorkshire , the U.K. and around the globe.

I have been quiet on the WRAPÂ front – wellness recovery action plan. Only for the reason, I knew this testimonial video would be available for YOU and others who want to take their life in their hands and have a plan for if it all goes down the toilet.
Anyway, here it is. I think it will have more of a powerful effect on those of you who do decide to watch it. Instead of me waffling about it over 12 weeks on camera. If you want to to do WRAP and are not in a physical place close to where I live. You can still do it via my WRAP page. No costs – for free.  Or you can go to the founder of WRAP-Mary Ellan Copeland‘s website and pay for the various material (if it is not free) that can be found on this website. It all about you. It is all about what you want to get out of it.
I have found out so much about myself and what I am like, what I enjoy, what makes me happy, what keeps me well, what works, what doesn’t work, what I want people in my life to do if I have a meltdown.
Discipline is what is required to receive a Masters of Creative writing.
To be perfectly honest when I am told to do something- I just want to be a bit of a rebel.
Shout out a mega –No!
 My spirit kicking and fighting.
Word of the day.
Absurd to think I don’t even know if I have started to go grey.
Vanity.
Simply vanity.
A neutral  medlem of society.
forget the bloods and the crips -it is we who are the true calamity.
Word of the day.
Can I just willy Neigh  Neigh?
September,
September is coming.
 Or as they say in Games of Thrones –
Winter is coming!
It is on this isle.
I must write every day – stretch my brain – like- candyfloss.
Chewing on thoughts, words to use,to make this an epic  – poetic -nonacademic,  empty  sweet wrapper to toss,
In the bin.
Environmental awareness is ever so hip and positively in.
For how long, though -we are a fickle lot?
Where to place this word in my head?
Scooby doo comes to mind,
Daphne,
Blonde dude and who was that other one?
He had  a hell of a time conquering his phobia – which turned out to be his career – catching the rising dead?
I’ve heard of challenging yourself but what’s his name -seriously needs a new career counsellor – open up a burger joint or smoke one.
Daisy doesn’t condone drugs, in fact, I am the only person I know that can’t smoke the herb due to the whiff of paranoia that is unleashed from my sensors –
I become that buxom lass who lost a few buttons on her blouse and finds herself – ahem unsexily undone.
I can assure you – it is no fun.
Books, so many books to read………
If only I could inhale books as much as I can inhale food like mead?
Well, drink, eat, whatever- you get my drift……
Oooh, that was spooky.
Did you feel that ice plummeting temperature drop?
It left with the drift.
on its way out,
 I think it whispered boozy I mean breezy .
Did it just call me a floosie?
Goose pimples,
do not want to make me show you my dimples.
I’m being frivolously silly, I do sincerely know it.
I’m having a ball!
In an earthy, grounded way of course. Go get into my extra, bespoke, Â vintage flow kit.
Dapper!
Flapper.
Starlight scatter!
I want to live in a world where everything is just, Darling!
Okay – this is getting ridiculous.
I’m sure by now -you are pulling out possible grey hairs,
rolling your eyes,
spitting out  ‘time waster’, snarling.
Okay, folks, I will put you out of your misery –
I recalled the name of that last bumbling, ghost hunter gang banger – my mind is no longer scuzzy.
Are you ready?
His name was Thrummy.
Why are you laughing?
 I know my characters!
Shaggy was the one who did all that banging on the bathroom room floor – butt naked I might add.
